The RFID Solutions Center is a state-of-the-art 23,000 square foot training and lab environment which provides students the opportunity to develop the needed skills to ‘hit the ground running.’ The program has educated several thousand graduates world-wide and its success is attributable to the right blend of theory and hands-on lab training, where content is continuously refreshed with real-world learnings. We are pleased to further expand our educational offerings with RFID4U, and help standardize the RFID academic curriculum.”
